Mid-week update: Delays
🕑 Added 2019-09-12 00:11:50 +0000 UTCHi everyone,
I would be lying if I said that progress on Chapter 2 is going to plan right now – it is not.
As much as I enjoy working on it, XXXivilization is still a hobby for me and not a job. The last few weeks have been really busy and demanding at my day-time job, and while that is nice for me personally – as I’ve gotten to learn a lot of new things and work on an interesting project – it means that when I’ve gotten home from work some days that I’ve been too exhausted to get a lot done for XXXivilization.
I would have needed to burn myself out to get the beta-test phase started in early November as I planned originally, and I don't think that's in anyone's interest.
That means I will just give you a short update on how far things have progressed:
- Renders – Done, still need to be integrated into the game
- New maps – Done
- New events – Waiting on the texts of one writer, 1-2 minor events still missing, rest has the text written but still need to be integrated into the game
- New core mechanics – Done, but need further testing
- Other extensions (tech tree, units, etc.) – Mostly done, balancing still needed
Sorry if you find this news distressing. I’m doing the best I can. If you have any further questions I would be happy to answer them in the comments or in the games discord server.
Thanks for reading,

Don't overwork yourself! Anything you produce is worth waiting for, so please ensure to take care of yourself
Quality is preferred over quantity, so take your time and do what you need to do! No worries here.

No problemo! Take your time we understand.
Thank you, that is reassuring :)

Hey, you are no good burned out. Take all the time you need. As someone who is working on a game as a hobby and hope to release soon I know what you mean. We will all be waiting!
